AMD Radeon Graphics Drivers 25.10.2 WHQL (29 Oct 2025)
Intel Graphics Drivers 101.8137 WHQL (for Arc/Iris/Xe/Core Ultra 9th Generation and newer) (29 Oct 2025)
Note that both Intel and AMD publish separate driver packages for motherboard/chipset/cpu, networking, and native disk/storage controllers.
Note that Intel publishes separate driver packages for on-board NPU functionality on Core and Core Ultra processors.
Note that Intel will often rapid-fire beta graphics drivers to provide support for specific gaming environments on Arc/Xe2 B series graphics.
With the 572.16 release, Nvidia has dropped support for any GPU older than the 1000 series (Pascal GPU). So if your GPU is based on Maxwell or Volta, you’re pretty much frozen at that driver level. NVidia release notes have been updated/corrected to reflect this. NVidia’s on-line driver search tool has also been updated.
NVidia will freeze / drop support for Pascal (1000 and some 2000 series GPUs) in a near-future release.
In the Nvidia user groups there is discussion that the openGL/CL and Vulkan code has had some revisions for efficiency and bug fixes (driven by DxO and Davinci). DxO depends on these APIs (among many others) for some of it’s work.
Yes, I did break my rule in posting the new driver version (as it is not a fully tested Studio release) but in this case the background info may justify it.
I wish that the software hosting the forum here (discourse) would allow for more than 2 or 3 post edits so that I don’t have to re-create the driver version notification that I maintain.

It doens´t seem to do no harm. It works fine with Photolab 9.1 for me as long as I stay away from the named AI-presets
I read and understood the same texts as you have at Nvidia.
Whether you broke a rule or not you are announcing something that will almost certainly be released, although there seems to be more Game Ready driver releases than Studio Driver releases i…e. they do not seem to be in “lock step”.
For me, and possibly others that are not privy to such information, it is just confusing, Nvidia are telling us one thing on their site and you are telling us something else, hence my query.
Thank you for the update but it would have been better to state that there was a new Studio Driver in the pipeline and that the currently available 581.80 driver set was a Game Ready version. Then I wouldn’t have been “confused”!!
